Thanks to $2.3 million from Ottawa and Fredericton, clean drinking water is another step closer to reality for Saint John. Work is underway on two projects including a water-main installation for the Spruce Lake Industrial Park along with work on the Cottage Hill and Rockwood water storage resevoirs. The cash comes from the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund which stipulates the work must be finished by the end of March and Mayor Court says that shouldn’t be an issue:
Court says the good weather is on their side and he thinks they will be able to get them finished along with work on Howes Lake.
The remainder of the cash will go toward paving projects in and around Greater Saint John totalling just over 40 kilometers including work on Campbell Drive, Marr Road and Golden Grove areas.
